Ringside Report Network: No Live Show Tonight, but Follow Dave Simon for WWE SmackDown Coverage

The crew is taking a short but well-earned break this week! That means we won’t have our usual live broadcasts on YouTube, Rumble, or Twitch featuring Dave, Johnny, Fred, AJ, or Ben. But don’t worry—you won’t be left without coverage of tonight’s massive wrestling action.

Our very own Dave Simon will be live in attendance at the Bell Centre in Montreal for WWE SmackDown, and he’ll be providing minute-by-minute updates, reactions, and insights on his personal Twitter account. To stay in the loop and get his immediate thoughts on all the dramatic fallout from SummerSlam, be sure to follow him at @davesimonmma.
